1. |
Select any Crime and population type by clicking on the radio button to see a quintile ranking for states for that category. |
| 2. |
Click on any state on the map to see the annual (1994-1998) and average violent crime statistics for that state. |
| Notes: |
1. |
States are not ranked because they did not submit data by population category for any of the years (IL, KS, MT), or because they have no equivalent population category (eg, NJ's population is totally within various MSA's). The District of Columbia is omitted because only the core city is within the District. |
| 2. |
Care should be taken in drawing conclusions from the maps themselves (especially the MSA series) as there may be a very limited set of cities (and small ones, at that) forming the core. The maps are best used to visualize the general shifts among the various crime rates. |
